April 13 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks looked set to open lower on Thursday, following President Donald Trump's remarks on the U.S. dollar and interest rates, while investors assessed bank earnings.

Shares of JPMorgan and Citigroup rose about 0.4 percent premarket after the two banks reported quarterly profits that beat analysts' expectations.

However, Wells Fargo slipped 1.2 percent at $52.49 after reporting a slight drop in quarterly profit.

The results come after a frenetic rally in bank shares that started in November on bets that President Donald Trump would rein in banking regulations and introduce other business friendly policies.

"Investors will (be) faced with another day of market uncertainties as bank earnings, geopolitical worries and Trump's comments on the greenback are being reflected in the volatility index that is flashing trouble ahead," Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at First Standard Financial, wrote in a note.

The dollar, already suffering from a risk-off mood in the market amid geopolitical tensions, hit its lowest level this month after Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that the currency "was getting too strong" and that he would like to see interest rates stay low.

Gold, which has become the preferred asset this week as investors sought safe havens, was up 0.11 percent and continues to trade at its highest level since November.
